A Caged Bird:

Chapter 5

"Noo…" Starfire moaned as she looked at the screens picture. Yes, it was Robin, as Slade had said, but not the way she wanted to see him. He was chained to the wall, unconscious; with his feet dangling freely bellow him, his arms supporting his weight. His arms were chained on either side of him, so his body hung in a kind of "Y" shape.

"Nooo…" Starfire moaned again, tears welling in her ducts as she looked at Robins condition. There were so many cuts and slashes on his chest that you could barley see any skin not covered in blood. Most of the blood was dried but a few looked freshly cut. One or two wounds were bleeding over dried blood, which stated that they had been torn open anew. His face hung down on his chest but had many brusies clearly visible; surprisingly, his mask still on his eyes. Bellow Robin's beaten body, a few drops of his blood slowly dropped down to pool with the rest of the dried.

"NOOOO!" the tameranian princess yelled, lunging herself toward Slade. She would kill him for what he'd done. With or without her powers, she'd KILL HIM!

Slade grabbed her fists, as she tried to punch him in the face, and pushed her so she stumbled backwards and fell onto her donkey. Not so that it would hurt her, just annoyed her; a lot! He did this again for the next five times Starfire threw herself at him, and each time she landed back in the same place no pain involved.

"He is just toying with me! That little klombarfd blacfard!" As Starfire thought this, she suddenly noticed the stinging on the back of her neck, left over from the pain from the other night she'd felt before she'd fallen unconscious.

"felling a little sore my dear?" Slade mocked. He then lifted up a metalique rod about 10 centimetres long with a handle on the end that had some sort of gage on it, the needle on the highest setting. "This," he said indicating the metal object in his hand, teaching his 'student another' lesson. "is a kryptonain tazer. If it can paralise a kryptonian, it can knock out a tameranian." He then put the tazer away again.

"Why you…" Strafire started as she began to rise again, ready to restart her attacks. But Slade interrupted.

"As fun as this is, I have another guest to… 'take care' of. Feel free to watch." Slade smirked as he left the room, leaving the desperate tameranian alon.

"NOO! ROBIN! NOOO!" she yelled but…no outcome…

Okay fellow readers I have decided to post my author notes here instead of on the review board. It's easier for some people. I'm NOT saying your all stupid. Just some of you are...lacking in the concept department. It's important that you read this! Okay! Snazzy! ♥

Author Notes: Firstly, I'd like to dedicate this chapter to moondust161 -- hope your feeling better! Keep reading/reviewing/writing! ♥

Secondly, I don't own teen titans or any of the characters...yada yada...snore snore...Oh! ya...opps...so ya, you know all that jazz. Snazzy! ♥

Thirdly, I'm going to explain all the flaws in the story you might complain about. I DON'T know WHERE Slade put the tazer. In some sorta hidden pocket he has. YES I HAVE AN OBSESION WITH SUPERMAN! I think I coverd that in the last chapter and in my profile(which by the way is up and runningso you should check that out) Why Starfire didn't run out of the room when Slade left was because he wold have just pushed her down again. NO ROBIN IS NOT DEAD. Unconsious but NOT dead. If you have anymore flaw complaints mail me, (Shikku for anyone who's having a bad day.) and I'll mail you back and explain. Okay! Snazzy! ♥

lastly, I'm really, really, really, really, REALLY sorry about taking so long to update! I've been buried in homework, tests and essays (Stupid high school) and I want to make this a really long chapter so enjoy! ♥
